This 13-page file, comprising eight documents from August 1968, relates to the production of pillow cases bearing the image of Jimi Hendrix. The proposed pillow cases were to be marketed by Bill Graham's Fillmore East merchandising company and produced by "Sandy's In Contention, Inc.", a New York-based company whose letterhead indicated the company to be "The First in Psychedelic Art Advertising Media thru Pillows." The documents and correspondence between Graham's attorney, "Sandy's In Contention, Inc., and United States Testing Co., relate to skin irritation and skin sensitization testing. While the sample pillows passed the testing requirements, our research shows no evidence of the pillow cases ever being produced or marketed. The documents are very good, in a legal manila folder file entitled "Fillmore East 10. Pillows, 2889-10."
